Pros
There are several pros to working at Pariveda Solutions: - Respect for work-life balance - Full healthcare benefits - Emphasis on personal growth and learning - Transparent salary structure and advancement schedule - Clear expectations for roles - Senior leadership treats employees like humans - Frequently, the salary structure is revisited to implement cost-of-living adjustments - Built-in mentorship structure
Cons
Some downsides to working at Pariveda Solutions are: - Pariveda follows a "generalist" model, which is a pro and a con. While this allows for flexibility and variety in consultant work, it also means that a consultant goes "an inch deep and a mile wide", and can miss the tech stack best practices or advanced features of a tech stack. With a team of "inch-deep mile-wide" expertise, project codebases are at risk to become disjointed and disorganized. Furthermore, consultants who gain deeper technical knowledge are promoted to managerial positions, and no longer have time to interact with codebases- which can function as knowledge loss. If a consultant wants to go deeper than a working knowledge, they must do so on their own time. Pariveda does provide learning materials for consultants who wish to dive deep, however. - When I was recruited to Pariveda Solutions, the nature of my work was somewhat misrepresented. I was pitched on working with "new and exciting" technologies. Most of my work, however, was in older enterprise tech stacks, and only after several projects was I able to engage with newer tech for a short time. Since my recruitment was some years ago, those recruitment practices may have changed. - One-track growth: Pariveda Solutions puts all consultants on the same track- developer to manager to upper management/sales. This model may suffice for most, but some folks are more interested in product development than management/sales.

Pros
Pariveda is all about your personal growth. They talk about it a lot during the recruiting process but they follow through on that talk once you join. The mentorship here is unlike any other company I have worked for. You get an assigned mentor on your first day but a lot of people pop up as informal mentors, which is really cool to have. Flexibility--- my manager is very understanding and tries to accommodate my personal needs as much as possible. The pay here is pretty standard for developers but the growth potential is unlike any I have seen. Within the few years I have worked here my salary has almost doubled. Pariveda is really big on community, each office has it's own sense of pride and quirks and when you get the chance to go to trainings, meeting Fins from other offices is really fun and stress free. Our new office design is really cool. I'm digging the open workspace concept. Just wish we could work in the office more often.
Cons
You are at the client site a lot. So unless your office is big on out of work hours activities, you can feel more of a client employee than Pariveda. The hours can be daunting but the 4 weeks of PTO (5 if you buy an extra week) really helps with that. Seems to be a pressure to cut cost. We get weekly emails from the COO letting us know if we are hitting numbers, exceeding or missing. Sometimes that can heighten the level of stress but I guess at the end of the day if I'm on a sinking boat, I would want to know as soon as possible to plan accordingly.
